Expand description

A Unix socket Ancillary data struct.

Example

#![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary, AncillaryData};
use std::io::IoSliceMut;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let sock = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;

    let mut fds = [0; 8];
    let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
    let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);

    let mut buf = [1; 8];
    let mut bufs = &mut [IoSliceMut::new(&mut buf[..])][..];
    sock.recv_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;

    for ancillary_result in ancillary.messages() {
        if let AncillaryData::ScmRights(scm_rights) = ancillary_result.unwrap() {
            for fd in scm_rights {
                println!("receive file descriptor: {fd}");
            }
        }

    Ok(())

Implementations

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

Create an ancillary data with the given buffer.

Example
#![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
use std::os::unix::net::SocketAncillary;
let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);
Run
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

Returns the capacity of the buffer.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

Returns true if the ancillary data is empty.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

Returns the number of used bytes.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

Returns the iterator of the control messages.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

Is true if during a recv operation the ancillary was truncated.

Example
#![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary};
use std::io::IoSliceMut;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let sock = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;

    let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
    let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);

    let mut buf = [1; 8];
    let mut bufs = &mut [IoSliceMut::new(&mut buf[..])][..];
    sock.recv_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;

    println!("Is truncated: {}", ancillary.truncated());
    Ok(())
}
Run
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

Add file descriptors to the ancillary data.

The function returns true if there was enough space in the buffer. If there was not enough space then no file descriptors was appended. Technically, that means this operation adds a control message with the level SOL_SOCKET and type SCM_RIGHTS.

Example
#![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary};
use std::os::unix::io::AsRawFd;
use std::io::IoSlice;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let sock = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;

    let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
    let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);
    ancillary.add_fds(&[sock.as_raw_fd()][..]);

    let buf = [1; 8];
    let mut bufs = &mut [IoSlice::new(&buf[..])][..];
    sock.send_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;
    Ok(())
}
Run
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

Add credentials to the ancillary data.

The function returns true if there was enough space in the buffer. If there was not enough space then no credentials was appended. Technically, that means this operation adds a control message with the level SOL_SOCKET and type SCM_CREDENTIALS or SCM_CREDS.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unix_socket_ancillary_data #76915)

Clears the ancillary data, removing all values.

Example
#![feature(unix_socket_ancillary_data)]
use std::os::unix::net::{UnixStream, SocketAncillary, AncillaryData};
use std::io::IoSliceMut;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let sock = UnixStream::connect("/tmp/sock")?;

    let mut fds1 = [0; 8];
    let mut fds2 = [0; 8];
    let mut ancillary_buffer = [0; 128];
    let mut ancillary = SocketAncillary::new(&mut ancillary_buffer[..]);

    let mut buf = [1; 8];
    let mut bufs = &mut [IoSliceMut::new(&mut buf[..])][..];

    sock.recv_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;
    for ancillary_result in ancillary.messages() {
        if let AncillaryData::ScmRights(scm_rights) = ancillary_result.unwrap() {
            for fd in scm_rights {
                println!("receive file descriptor: {fd}");
            }
        }
    }

    ancillary.clear();

    sock.recv_vectored_with_ancillary(bufs, &mut ancillary)?;
    for ancillary_result in ancillary.messages() {
        if let AncillaryData::ScmRights(scm_rights) = ancillary_result.unwrap() {
            for fd in scm_rights {
                println!("receive file descriptor: {fd}");
            }
        }
    }
    Ok(())
}
